AAFCO: Animal feeding tests using AAFCO procedures substantiate that Pro Plan Puppy Toy Breed Formula provides complete and balanced nutrition for all life stages, including growth of large sized dogs (70 lb. or more as an adult) (per manufacturer). Chicken is the first ingredient.

This recipe is formulated for toy breed puppies expected to weigh under 10 lb as adults. Its first five ingredients by pre-cook weight are chicken, corn protein meal, rice, poultry by-product meal and beef fat preserved with mixed tocopherols. The guaranteed protein minimum here is notably high at 34 percent, well above the 28 percent used on Purina's standard and large breed puppy formulas, reflecting the higher calorie density toy breed puppies typically need in a smaller stomach capacity. The AAFCO statement still covers all life stages, including growth of large sized dogs, since it is the same base claim used across the puppy range. Purina sells this recipe in a 34 lb bag. The feeding chart is scaled for small dogs, running from about 1/4 cup a day for a very young puppy expected to mature at 2 to 12 lb up to roughly 1-1/3 cups for one nearing its first birthday at 13 to 22 lb mature weight. Whatever food ends up in the bowl, a single ingredient freeze dried topper is a way to add interest without changing the diet, which is what Sniff and Shift makes in Malvern, Pennsylvania.
